We were thrilled to be asked to work at the Principality Stadium over the weekend for the Supercross World Championship 2022. We were tasked with building the blocks for the bikes along with the finishing podium for the champion at the end. Of course we had to test it out with our very own Ellis holding his cup (of water...) high on the first place stand. All of it has now been dismantled, packed up and moved on as it will travel with the Supercross team around the world. This has never been done before so we are proud to be asked to work on this. Have a look at some of our images below showcasing what the guys got up to..

We recently installed for Homeline in Aberdare. This work included a full strip out, new floors, kitchen and plumbing installed with complete furniture and decoration throughout. They also received brand new air conditioning from our friends at D & G Air Conditioning which will be ideal for the warmer months ahead... Check out some images of the completed work below: 

This year we are proud to celebrate 17 years of Radecarl. To mark the occasion, we wanted to share with you the story of the business and how it got to where it is today… Where it all began… The business was founded in 2005 by the 3 partners: Tony Lamorte, Robin Kinrade and Paul Lamorte, who were all in full-time employment at the time. They began by buying and selling properties, which was going well until 2008, when the financial crash happened and the properties were devalued by 25% overnight. They soon realised that they had to think of other ways to make money so they started a maintenance business focusing on commercial/industrial buildings as this is where their main expertise lay. By 2010, they had created over 12 month’s worth of business alongside their usual day jobs so it reached a stage where someone needed to quit their job and focus solely on taking Radecarl further. It was then that Tony took the lead and handed in his notice to his employer so he could concentrate on growing the business full time. This allowed the other guys to follow suit shortly after. In 2011, Robin set up a cleaning business alongside Radecarl Ltd which grew the business to a 2 million pound company in the space of 6 years. In the same year, Paul joined Radecarl Ltd full time alongside Tony’s son, Daniel. And now… The business forecast now has a turnover of 2 million pounds on maintenance works alongside property investment. We have built up a wide range of projects under our belt over the years carrying out commercial, industrial and domestic services for clients such as Principality Stadium and Swalec Stadium. We are also proud to be sponsors of Glamorgan Cricket and The Machen Show year after year and thoroughly enjoy being able to support local where we can. Like in all businesses there has been its challenges. We are glad to have got through them and for this we must thank our loyal workforce as well as our ongoing customer base for this continued growth. Long may it continue… Just a few images below showcasing some of the work carried out over the years...

Fire doors play an invaluable part in protecting your building and everyone inside it. They not only provide a means of escape, but also form a barrier to minimise the risk of it spreading and causing further devastation. However, for many buildings it’s only when a fire breaks out, that the consequences of poorly fitted or maintained fire doors are highlighted. They must have certain features in order to fulfil their purpose, otherwise, they won't be able to perform properly. So are your doors fitted and maintained as they should be? Here are 5 steps to checking they meet current standards:

We have recently installed new ductwork for a new line that is being installed in a plastics factory in Aberdare. We were asked to work alongside the machine manufacturers and installers to connect this large ductwork to the machine fan and exhaust. This project was under a strict time restraint which we were able to adhere too. Take a look at a few images of the finished work below.

We have recently completed some structural work for a metal manufacturing company in Newport. We had to cut out an opening of 6.5 metres that had over a ton of weight above. This will now allow the company to bring in new machines and expand on their manufacturing process. Check out some images of the completed work below:

Internal Fire Doors need to be fitted and maintained correctly to help contain fires and minimise the risk of them spreading. At Radecarl, our team are fully qualified to undertake repair, maintenance and installation of your fire doors. We carry out routine assessments and minor repairs, and if a fire door cannot be repaired on inspection, we are able to supply and install new ones to meet the current British standards. If you would like to find out more about how we can help you keep your building safe, please get in touch today on 07577 259750 or email us via daniel@radecarl.co.uk and we will be happy to help.

We have recently completed the cleaning work for a local University in South Wales on around 5000 fans and are pleased to say we have won the contract for the fifth year!   This was a massive job which required taking each fan apart, cleaning, replacing the filters and then reporting any issues found. We then carefully log each fan to record the maintenance work carried out. Take a look at the before and after images below.
